I've suffered with depression for around 25 years now. This song perfectly expresses how I feel about my illness and I've used it to help explain how I feel to friends and family. Thank you, Louis.
Im in the same boat I've only discovered this artist a d this song describes exactly how it feels especially when people don't understand what it's like when depressions come and go my partner even hs a better understanding also...
Probably because most people are living a lie and don’t sit down to think for long enough that they could be so much happier and that they are probably depressed, making themselves happy with tools like drugs, social media the list go’s on.
35years down the drinking and using route and when I do get clean it’s the depression kicking in that makes me pick up , this lad has got it down to a T , if you have got clean , keep it up, you are on top of it, God bless !
My grandad told me there’s a song for you by this Louis dunford and I listen to the lyrics and they mean something different to me and I’m sitting here 23/12/24 crying to myself in my room because it hits my soul my heart my brain and I feel the pain in this and it reaches a thousand vibrations in my body I’m only young (25) but I’ve lived with depression for as long as I can remember it never gets easier but with music like this I accept and embrace that there’s others out there that feel just like me when the sun is shining Im okay but she keeps the storm in my head and i sink down the drain! So Louis if you see this I’m coming to see you with my grandad next year in February and I’ve only just found you but mate you’ve touched my heart my grandads heart and I’ll forever love you for that!
He reminded me of Gerry, first time I heard him sing about London. Guys that keep it real, staying true to their roots while banging out absolute tunes. Seeing them both live is defo on my to do list. Gerry at Hamden gives me shivers. 🫶🫶🫶
Thank you Lousi! Your words are a more accurate description than I managed to find whenever I was visitied by depression. If you are reading this and struggling please do reach out to someone. If you are helping someone through their struggles, thank you very much as it is not easy but your efforts may well mean more than you might imagine, you're awesome.
Your music is absolutely amazing, this song reminded me so strongly of myself, was diagnosed with bipolar and even with finally getting on meds after 4 years going untreated it was still horrible until I accepted it as a part of my life and learned that both the depression and mania episodes were not forever and that they would end. Both your voice and the lyrics of your songs are absolutely beautiful and you deserve every bit of love you get bro ✊
Such a lyrical genius :) and knows how normal day to day life is and puts it across so well :) no big gold chains,Lamborghinis or pool party's promoting his music ! What this guy has done is amazing and I'm sure at some point we all can relate to something in every one of his tracks !:) don't stop writing :) you're talent is exceptional !:)
Having suffered from Depression and Anxiety for the past 20 odd years, self medicated with music as won't take tablets for past reasons (very dark place) this song relates soo much. Much love to everyone suffering X
The sun is shining outside But there's a storm in my skull And I was feeling just fine but the drugs and the wine started taking their toll See my friends were relieved That I was on the mend And my family and me, well we almost believed, I was normal, again But then you came along Just like a song That I can't get out of my head Hello Depression I guess you're back again So now I'm feeling too much Or I'm not feeling at all And the doctors they say, that a tablet a day, makes the demons feel small But my demons feel huge, so I drink and I use, like before When I drink I just think, and when I think I just sink, into your arms once more And then you come along Just like a song That I can't get out of my head Hello Depression I guess you're back again So I'll accept and embrace, that you're part of my mind I'll surrender up myself 'cause I know that in time I'll be better You're never forever And when the sun is shining outside I'll be feeling just fine And when you're in my skin I won't fight but I'll win I'm not yours, you are mine And when you come along Just like a song I'll sing for the whole world to see I've got depression Depression's not got me
You my friend are an incredible song writer, when you write it spurs the entire process, into a coherent looping thought process, the depressive divide of the mind requires reaction to create a purpose to persist, when you write it has no place to sneak in, without food it simply dissolves into and becomes the missing part of the mind as a whole, you see yourself eye to eye for the 1st time in a long time.... Keep writing pal. because what you do, is unheard of these day.
Tonight.. I got a clip sent to me of him from my loved one. I’ve gone down the rabbit hole looking for Louis.. just hope he does well.. I don’t know much about you kid but I really hope you make it..
Me myself had helped a high dose of vitamin b12 (350 μg) instantly to stop this pondering. But I also know it is no guarantee that it will help in general. I read about in a psychiatry report it is administered to stable people having depression. Be careful taking it over a long period because high dose of B12 are in suspicion to cause cancer.
If he can write a song about something the doctors dont even understand he must have his own shit going on playing a guitar/piano with a fucking biblical voice I might add. I've been through more than probably anyone in this chat and it definitely ain't bragging rights.i have two daughters that will never suffer what I suffered but they see my depression come back time and time again. They know why, they don't think it's me

Have you listened to his song Boys do Cry? Bloody amazing
No matter how many years.. it feels like a lifeful battle . God bless us all . Or help us all in our lowest somehow or another ...
Loius is an incredible songwriter and performer who should get far more exposure .
Never known anyone be able to tell a story like this guy!!! 👑👑👑
Look up Tom T Hall, old country artist, one of the best story tellers.
How has this guy hot got a bigger following
When we were hooligans was literally my youth
yes agree
Probably because most people are living a lie and don’t sit down to think for long enough that they could be so much happier and that they are probably depressed, making themselves happy with tools like drugs, social media the list go’s on.
What a talent. In recovery for alcohol and drug addiction and am owning my illness. This has really helped me
Keep it up bro....you got this mate !!
Keep going mate, you own the vices, they don't own you ❤
Same my brother 12 years T total & now in a deep depression & no alcohol or drugs only pharmaceuticals. 😢x

35years down the drinking and using route and when I do get clean it’s the depression kicking in that makes me pick up , this lad has got it down to a T , if you have got clean , keep it up, you are on top of it, God bless !

I've never been able to express or describe how it feels but this song is how av been for years.
Every song he has the lyrics just hit me.
Louis is part-poet, part- musician, part-singer and performer. There aren't many as good as him with that combination.
Louis is a genuine , caring person whose songs resonate with , so many of us. Bless him and keep him safe.
Scares me how much each line resounds, hope everyone that feels similar has someone to talk to and if not I can be your someone. Stronger together
Thank you
Absolutely love how Louis is so damn real and honest! Adore this guy ❤❤❤
Louis, in the words of Gerry Cinnamon you truly are a gifted wee belter. Scotland loves ya. 🏴

Thank you Louis for helping me figure out what is happening inside my head.
I wish I could like this thousands of times.
Legend.
What a guy, takes alot to admit depression, but its nothing to be ashamed of!! This song touches so many personal notes ❤
man, this gives me goosebumps, but damn does it hit hard. I've got clinical depression and this song is just.. Incredible
Having suffered from Depression and Anxiety for the past 20 odd years, self medicated with music as won't take tablets for past reasons (very dark place) this song relates soo much. Much love to everyone suffering X
OMG thank you so so much mate i needed to hear this now i have bipolar mate st5ay strong always not alone
How has this man not blown up ????
This just hits different
The sun is shining outside
But there's a storm in my skull
And I was feeling just fine but the drugs and the wine started taking their toll
See my friends were relieved
That I was on the mend
And my family and me, well we almost believed, I was normal, again
But then you came along
Just like a song
That I can't get out of my head
Hello Depression
I guess you're back again
So now I'm feeling too much
Or I'm not feeling at all
And the doctors they say, that a tablet a day, makes the demons feel small
But my demons feel huge, so I drink and I use, like before
When I drink I just think, and when I think I just sink, into your arms once more
And then you come along
Just like a song
That I can't get out of my head
Hello Depression
I guess you're back again
So I'll accept and embrace, that you're part of my mind
I'll surrender up myself 'cause I know that in time
I'll be better
You're never forever
And when the sun is shining outside
I'll be feeling just fine
And when you're in my skin
I won't fight but I'll win
I'm not yours, you are mine
And when you come along
Just like a song
I'll sing for the whole world to see
I've got depression
Depression's not got me
I needed this thanks
You my friend are an incredible song writer, when you write it spurs the entire process, into a coherent looping thought process, the depressive divide of the mind requires reaction to create a purpose to persist, when you write it has no place to sneak in, without food it simply dissolves into and becomes the missing part of the mind as a whole, you see yourself eye to eye for the 1st time in a long time....

Try ketamine therapy, I used to suffer from it, but not any more.
Louis aint got a gang around him, thats why he aint heard of too much
EiE
Little bit of this song he sounds like elton john
Get yourself a cane Corso best medicine in the world
Take my boy in Epping forest. On worst days /months he gets me through
Take care
